Has to be a Remington model 550-I .22 with a Simmons Pro 50 scope,
using bird shot. Only problem is CB rounds jam. Joe |

To hit them between the eyes I do. I have shots from 35 feet to 350
feet from the wheelhouse. Joe |

..22 bird shot to shoot rats? The rats would laugh at you.
Are you shooting them in your bilge? I use a Ruger, Single Six, from the holster, more sporting. Scotty "Joe" wrote in message ups.com... Has to be a Remington model 550-I .22 with a Simmons Pro 50 scope, using bird shot. Only problem is CB rounds jam. Joe |

Rat shot, bird shot, same thing. For over 50 ft I use the CB rounds.
It's spring here (80 degrees today) and the rats are running the rocks and soon we will have many running all over the peninsula here. I'd rather shoot them then see the dock hands poison them. Sighted in the scope today at lunch. Can hit a dime at 45 ft from a slightly rocking boat. Maybe a bit of after dinner sport tonight. Joe |

Gonna put out a pile of bird seeds..... pop a top...maybe turn on some
janis joplin or listen to Houston Marine Traffic and wait. It's a bit harder hitting a small target on a rocking boat Mooron, we have 20 kt gusts now and a bit of sloshing in the marina, a sporting chance for the rats I say. Lighting matches...bwahahahahaha regular annie oakley eh! When you going to be posting the picture of Kira? You haven't lost her again have you? Joe |

I just bought a Gammo air rifle at Dicks Sporting for $80. Vel = 1000 fps.

Joe,
The best Rat Rifle is any American Pellet Rifle, Cheap Ammo., Quite operation, no registration, no gun powder. Powerful enough to stop vermin but pretty much harmless to humans in an accident. http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ThomPage http://community.webtv.net/tassail/Pneuma |

I don't wan't to just **** them off Thom.
The CB rounds are cheap as dirt and quiet, yet make rats fly. One already chewed the wiring harness on the car. Joe |

Can I ask, why you're shooting squirrels?

Kate,
I've got a Rat Terrier named "Jazz" feels the same way. A well placed pellet leaves them kicking before they "Give up the Ghost OR Jazz gets to them. She likes them in one piece kicking and shaking. She likes to finish the job. We work the potato Barns out here. A pile of Dog kebble; A couple of folding canvas Chairs, with arm rest. set-up about 25 yds out side the Barn door and a couple of Thermos of coffee and dogs on quick release ties. A nice relaxing afternoon shooting and companionship Never thought to take picture but will now; when we get a little longer days. http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ThomPage http://community.webtv.net/tassail/Pneuma |

They are trying to destroy my house and cars. In one day (1 day, mind you!)
they did $1,235 worth of damage to my friend's car (we car pool to work and he parks in my yard). They chewed through just about every wire under his hood, and ripped the insulation down from the inside of the hood. They are in my attic, chewing and gnawing at everything. They have run through my house, they have run past me whilst I am working out on my Bowflex Treadclimber (not a paid endorsement). They are everywhere! I've tried the 'have a heart' traps and they just laugh at them! Two of those traps still sit in the yard, peanut butter bait still intact. I tried being mister nice guy. Now they die.

I had a rat chew the radiator fan sensor wire. The computor light came
on. I could not figure it out so brought the car to the dealer. They wanted to install a new fan, new sensor, harness. Talked about 1,100.00 to fix it. I told them not to touch anything. When I picked up the car the service manager said a mouse chewed the wire in half. Took a 5 cent butt splice and a 3" strip of electrical tape to fix it. Joe |

When we lived in the burbs, we had one get in the house and run amok, I shot him. We now live in the middle of the woods, tons of squirrels all around , even some flying squirrels, (Rocky Jr. ? ) but have never caused any problems. One even sleeps in the barn, but has not damaged anything, yet. A chipmunk was chewing up Lisa's flowers so I shot him with bow & arrow. Scotty |

I offered him the first two squirrel tails for his mirrors. He had no sense of humor. Scout |
